Cover picture: For the first time an Island country in the southwest Pacific has begun operating its own shipping link across the Pacific to USA. This month's cover picture uses the San Francisco Golden Gate bridge as a backdrop for the arrival off the US west coast of the cargo ship Niugini Chief, operated by the Papua New Guinea Shipping Corporation. Its cargoes to USA are PNG-produced coffee cocoa tea and frozen fish.
